About
THE JOURNEY is the gripping account of how two men from opposite sides of the political spectrum came together to change the course of history. In one corner is British loyalist Ian Paisley (Timothy Spall), in the other is Martin McGuinness (Colm Meaney), a former Irish Republican Army leader. Over the course of an impromptu, detour-filled car ride through the Scottish countryside, each begins to see the other less as an enemy, and more as an individual—a breakthrough that promises to at last bring peace to the troubled region. Driven by two virtuoso central performances, Nick Hamm's film serves as a relevant reminder of how humanity can overcome division.
